Cover/pan packaging

Abstract

Packaging is provided for removably holding a pan and cover together. The packaging includes a sheet provided with a top and bottom panel and adapted to accommodate a cover of a pan between the top and bottom panels when expanded to form a loop. The top panel may define a first hole adapted to receive a cover handle. A portion of the sheet defines a second hole adapted to receive a handle of a pan. When the cover is inserted in the loop and the handle of a pan is inserted through the second hole, the cover is removably secured to the pan such that it can lie over an opening of the pan, yet be moved to view the inside of the pan thereby allowing a prospective buyer to inspect the interior of the pan. In the preferred embodiment, a rectangular sheet with two opposed ends secured together forms the packaging. The second hole, adapted to receive a handle of a pan, is provided adjacent the secured opposed ends.
